If I could take away one thing that seems to have been added to forums recently, (well, I don't know how recent, I took like a 2-3 year break from computers) I'd take away the PM thing. Maybe I'm old school, or used to the crappy forums where that wasn't available. That and I would make it to where they don't send you an email and all that to register, because it just doesn't work that well. You get an email back saying your registered, and then your not. It leaves me sitting there all :confused:.

And those are some scary mascots. What's it's name?

It's slightly better than what a elementry school contest would produce. I hope that it is a rough draft or else their roster has more talant than their design department.

It looks like Homer's character Poochie on the episode where he gets his own character on the Itchy & Scratchy Show:laugh:

Actually "Rufus" was announced as their mascot a very long time ago. I think soon after the team was named because I've had him on some wallpaper for many months now!

I don't like it, but it's not any worse than Boomer. :(

I hate all mascots. For real. I can't stand them.

Except the St. Joe's hawk, that thing is crazy.

Not only is it old news, he attended Boomer's "birthday party" at the end of the regular season. Looks more like a dog in person than in this picture.

I have a dog named Boomer:) I know Boomer is a cat, but with one dog already named "Indy" and I didn't particularly care for "bowser", Boomer seemed appropriate:)

The dog in the pic to the left is "Indy"

It worries me Kegboy knows that.

Well, when you refuse to go out on the concourse during halftime, and the Pacemates aren't around to ogle, you more often than not end up watching the halftime entertainment by default. And, believe it or not, when mascots come to town for Boomer or Bowser's birthday parties, it's invariably just about the best halftime shows they have. Which, of course, is an indictment on how bad halftimes usually are.

Wow, that is truly hideous. And I bet a group of guys got payed a ton of money to come up with that.

Yep. Mascot basketball is actually pretty funny.

I'll vouch for this one...

(1) mascot basketball is usually a riot.

(2) Boomer kicks @$$ on the court. But he's from Indiana, so I'd expect that.
